The fact that most of the "Political Scene" section (regarding current times) talks about left-wing politics seems to really be a bit of a stretch.
Seems to be a bit of bias regarding newspapers. Will change.
From what I understand, Albertans are generally pretty conservative.

- Well most are, but some aren't. There's no point in stereotyping. Remember that this is the province that elected the Social Credit party -- a pretty radical move. -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:55, 2004 Nov 19 (UTC)
- Radical perhaps, but certainly not radical in the left wing sense. In fact the socreds are further right than the conservatives. In others words those who aren't conservative are reactionary. Scary thought. Although Calgary's mayor is a Liberal, or did he not get re-elected? Earl Andrew 18:24, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Dave Bronconnier is still the (Liberal) mayor. The city also elected a few Liberals to the Provincial assembly in the 2004 elections. Re the socreds, I thought that reactionaries wanted to change the system back to "the way it used to be". The socreds may well be right wing but I don't see how introduction of a basic income for every citizen fits into the reactionary category. -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:49, 2004 Nov 25 (UTC)
Where do they come up with the line that Calgary is Canada's richest city based on per capita income? I thought Oakville Ontario had the highest. Also, when stating that Calgary is the 3rd largest city in Canada, this is refering to the city proper which encompasses the entire urban area. It is a little misleading. Vancouver and Ottawa are smaller in population within the city proper, but when looked at from a continuous urban area, they are larger in population. 1:24, nov 24, 2004 BF
- This page refers to the city proper, and nothing else, so I don't think it is misleading. Earl Andrew 07:55, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I don't have the current list handy otherwise I'd do it myself, but the MLA list in the fact box needs updating as several of the folks there were defeated in the Nov. 22 election. 23skidoo 03:53, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Could someone please tell me where the data comes from interms of Calgary having the fastest growing population. When I checked the Statscan website, the latest available was for 2002/03 and it showed Oshawa, Ont. having the fastest growing population followed by Toronto. As well, where do you get that it has the highest concentration of wealthy entrepreneurs under 40? How do you define a wealthy entrepreneur? 3:34, Dec 11 2004 BF
